He had to get out of here. After a whole night of fucking, he was exhausted

All the elven women were incredibly beautiful, although he was aware at the back of his mind that they were all hundreds if not thousands of years old!

But he couldn't keep up like this. 

Well, he could if there were endless supply of animal hearts nearby, but he had to get home!

He had to find a way to return to Natalie, the love of his life. 

Last night was... just a fling. A multiple orgy fling. Natalie would forgive him, right?

No, Natalie will never know. 

At least that's what he convinced himself as he bade farewell to the village.

He told them, he wanted to explore to find if there was a way back to his home. 

The elves were disappointed, but they approved knowing how it was like to miss your home.  

He initially wanted to stay longer, to learn archery and maybe even Elven magic. 

But after last night, he better not get to attached to this place. Otherwise he might never leave. 

He travelled west and found another river, different from the one he fought the bear and the tiger. 

"Lets take a swim" he thought as he placed his luggage to the side.

Although he was naked all the time, once he left the village, he was determined to at least wear a lioncloth or something

He was just about to jump into the river when he saw a moose swim by

It was so powerful, it was practically running on water!

"That's crazy! I want to have that ability" he thought as he dove into the river, swimming like a torpedo towards the moose

Suddenly, like a flying fish, he burst out of the water, clawing the moose with a single strike to the neck

With the power of a angry grizzly, his fingernails tore the moose's neck open, but it was already dead from the crazy strength of the impact

"That was easy!" Stephan thought to himself as he dragged the huge moose to the riverside and ripped open it's chest

"Mmmm warm and still beating" he said, and was surprised by his thoughts. He really had gotten used to this ability, if he was on Earth, he would have been thought of as a lunatic. 

He used his fingernail like a knife and deftly cut up the moose

His kitchen knife had already been bent out of shape and was barely usable besides as a stabbing weapon. And his cleaver was already blunt from using it as a battle weapon. 

Besides, his fingernails were harder and sharper than either one, and his teeth had such biting power, it was pointless to cut meat into smaller pieces

He also now preferred to eat meat raw, even though he could cook them in fantastic ways. It tasted better to him, especially fresh kills. 

In essence, he was loosing his ability as a chef, as his tastes have gone to purely raw food. 

He spent over a year, travelling the width and breath of the land. It was so vast, he never reached an ocean in any direction

By now he had eaten a cheetah, gaining it's top speed, eaten all sorts of mammals, but his strength never increased past that of a elephant.

He tried assuming the venom of poisonous snakes and frogs, but when he let them initially bite him through his thick skin, it hurt like hell since he only had limited venom and poison resistance, eating their hearts gave him total immunity to their bites.

He ate the hearts of all sorts of creatures that charged, like rhinos, bulls of every kind, moose, antelope and deer

He doesn't even know which he now had, possibly the rhino, but combine with the speed of a cheetah, his charge was especially deadly, and his forehead, though still looking the same, was practically harder than steel

His penis gained the strength and control of an elephant's trunk, and could be used to swim in rivers like a crocodile's tail too. As it had all the required muscles, he could use his penis to draw in and shoot out water and even had fine motor control to hold and grasp objects.

And because of constant use and practice, it even grew a few inches and could extend to 10 inches long, which gave his ego a boost. He was a grower, not shower as it remained looking the same as it did when flaccid. But when it got erected, which he could control it at will, he could extend to his full length

He even used it to swing through trees like some monkeys used their tails. And he developed his own style as he ate many different types of monkeys

After a while he was not eating because he could get stronger, but because he learned the natural skills each animal had

He was probably as strong as the strongest animal anyway, but for example, he learned how to use his strength to constrict prey like an anaconda or python, but using the strength of an elephant

He literally squeezed the zebra he hunted, breaking it's bones and squeezing out its flesh like a toothpaste tube from both it's eyes, nose, mouth and ears on one end, and it's ass and vagina on the other end!

After killing for a year and eating raw flesh, Stephan lost all sympathy for other animals. They were simply food for him

He had tried to assimilate insect abilities, but his body was completely different and thus was unable to gain anything.

And no matter how many birds he ate, he never achieved the ability to fly as the anatomy was different. But as before, his hand speed was faster than the eye could see, using his hands the speed a hummingbird could fly to claw his prey to death with the strength of an elephant

Finally, he decided he had enough exploration. There was no sign of another portal

Fortunately, he had met friends here, a village full of gorgeous lovers.

He could be happy here. He might still have some hope to return to Natalie some day, but for now, he could be happy

Besides, they were more accepting to his constant nudity here, and he was used to it, as using his penis as a third arm was now as natural to him as his other arms

He started trekking back, somehow knowing the direction instinctively. Was it from assimilating bird directional abilities, a dog's sense of smell, or something else? He didn't know

He tried to keep track of what abilities he gained, but he didn't know all of them. Most things came to him purely by instinct, and those that he intentionally wanted to try, half the time he achieved it, like with the constrictor snake squeeze, or even his fine motor control of his penis.

He took a slow jog back to the village, which was still faster than a human could run.

He couldn't wait to get back to meet his lovers. Wait till they see what he could do with his penis now!

It took him 3 months to get back, as he had travelled so far a distance

He double checked, eating familiar creatures he has eaten before, but making sure he didn't miss any

He upgraded on as many strong animals he has eaten before, finding the strongest sample he could find

--

Happily walking with the skin of a giant King Cobra he fought, it's hood literally large enough when he wore it on his head. that he managed to flap it like wings and take off for a short while!

He because of his success, he intended to bring it to the Elf village to see if he could craft a wingsuit or something

Just then, he looked in the distance to see the forest the Elf village was in, completely covered by a thick mist, blocking even the sunlight!

"What in the world..." Stephan thought. He could feel the very evil itself permeate from the the mist

He suddenly started running towards the mist with one word in his mind

"Vampires" he muttered, remembering that the elves had to flee from their realm, hunted and exterminated by the vampires!
